Medicine Waste Collection | EcoWePlus

Biomedical waste collection involves the systematic process of handling, segregating, storing, and disposing of waste generated in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and research institutions. This waste includes potentially hazardous materials, such as infectious sharps, body fluids, contaminated dressings, and expired pharmaceuticals, all of which require specialized handling to prevent health and environmental risks. Effective biomedical waste collection starts with segregation at the point of generation, using color-coded bins to categorize types of waste, like infectious, hazardous, or pharmaceutical. Proper storage and timely collection ensure waste is securely managed until it can be transferred to licensed disposal facilities. Adhering to regulatory standards, providing staff training, and partnering with authorized disposal services are essential for managing biomedical waste safely and responsibly.
